NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10

Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Jalen Hutchinson Studied Culinary Science at Culinary Institute of America (Graduated 2014). Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Devfag talks about experiences

Leader 02/27/1 5 (Fri) 00:43:32 ID: 55aaae No.411679411732 411753 413047 410909 >This is exactly what got lots of devs interested in gamergate via Depression Quest winning awards and s--- Devfag here. Yup. Not really in the mood to go on a rant, but you want to talk about oppression let's talk about working 80 hour weeks for the better part of a year, and when you finally make it to your unreasonable deadline launch the studio executives go lol layoff time, and we're keeping your last paycheck because reasons. That's how 99% of gamede s pay their dues in the industry and learn the craft and art of making games. If you survive that mess, doesnt matter your race or gender you come out either tough or broken. This is why the average burnout rate is only a couple of years in game dev. Then a couple of upper middle class white people with trust funds come along from outside the industry talking about how they're oppressed because they don't like the arrangement of pixels in games they've never played, so they DESERVE fame and fortune, and awards for their poorly written s----- html text game? And if you disagree with them you're a r-----? And then to have all the journos sing praises about the bravery and heroism of these white upper class pixel victims, and here's a link to their patreon. Not because they're having sex with each other, or anything Let me tell you, most devs aren't on THAT side

(read from bottom to top) Total Biscuit Nukes Leigh Alexander from Orbit After she Goes After Ken Levine

Not Genna Bain Totalbiscuit Let me never become so cynical as to spend my time as Leigh Alexander does, attacking storied developers far more talented than they わta * Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following .imgur.com/FQrAHV3.png Anton Ego: In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscult Following imgur.com/lk0VaB2 Oh I see an outmoded design form, its called traditional games journalism ur # Leigh Alexander @leighalexander Follow most of the devs who have been pompously 'neutral' or in favor of GG are over a certain age and work in outmoded design forms わt3 http://archive.today/Vxnr4 14 AM-26 Feo 2015 Leigh Alexander Follow i wonder if ken levine is ever kept awake at night, haunted by how many poorly-read objectivist gamers he unwittingly created 32 PM 26 Fob 2015 https://archive.today/6Bplz Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Or perhaps that's just what happens when you find your journalistic inspiration at the bottom of a bottle. Sigh. わ£7 . な Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following Takes quite a bit to push me off the fence to go after someone in particular. Going after a reasonable and talented dev will do it Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following Compared to people like that we critics, all critics, are garbage. There is no rung lower, learn some goddamn respect for your betters わ ★ な Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following The difference is some of us are happy being the best damn garbage we can be and others just resent even being in the industry at all Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscult ng If you fall into the second category, the door is right there Not Genna Bairn @Totalbiscuit Following Thankfully, most people seem to actually like being in this industry. Most games journos are good people Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following l transitioned out of industries I hated into an industry I loved and never let me forget how fortunate am to have been able to do that な Not Genna Bain @Totalbiscuit Following Here endeth the morning sermon.

Daniel Vavra on Misogyny

And they will never be happy If women in your game look good, you are sexist, if they look bad, you are sexist, if you can fight with them, you are misogynistic, if you can't fight with them, you are using them as objects, if you don't have any women, because there is no correct way how to have them you are misogynistic.
